Marietta, the beautiful Gem CITY of
Georgia, is Justly termed the prettiest little
city in the southeast The SCENERY In ana
about she city is unexcelled. The atmos.
phere at its elevation above the sea (lI32
feet is pure and exhiarating; the water is
the best OF free stone The Western & At
antic Railroad company runs six passen-
ger trains per day each way between Allan
ia and Marietta; consequently, there is CON
nectiou within every few hours between the
two cities.
No plaae, however, affords any snbstan-
tia enjoyment to tourists unless it has first
class hotels Atlanta Kimball House is
noted all over America; Marietta Whit
lock House is certainly gem hotel in the
Gem City"
Situated in the midst OF beautiful little
grove, only one square from the Western &
Atlantic depot il presents an outside APP
pearauce which at once captivates the visit
ors eye, and the warm and elegant enter
iainment afforded within make an impress
sion Of pleasure which is always cherished
by the guest, and which leaves in the mind
Of each one desire and determination TO
return. There is no pleasanter stepping
place anywhere in the southeast than the
Whitlock House, Marietta,
But the Whtlock House, with its home
like welcome, is not the only pleasant place
Of entertainment in Marietta. The Kenne-

nothing but pleasant words for him. Then
there are boarding houses, frst-class in eve

Mrs. NJ. |. Wright, the Hedges, where
Mr.. JAS l. LATTE makes you thoroughly
at home, and the houses Of Mrs. j. H. Eli

Chuck Anderson will put you behind a
spanking team, or if you" are plural then
he can furnish several of these for the crowd
The pleasant drives around Marietta are
some of the great attractions.
Marietta is now rapidly filling up with
the very best class Of northern and north
western tourists. The wisdom Of the man
agement ofthe Western & Atlantic Railroad
company, in establishing through connee-
tons, giving stop-over privileges Oh all
through tickets and other advantages Of
this kind is bearing the most desirable fruit.
What wonder then that her citizens are
proud Of the Western g. Atlantic Railroad
and that the Western & Atlantic Railroad
is proud Of the little Gem City
